BELGRAVIA SECOND SEASON
ADS LADY SOPHIE WINKLEMAN
Although it was cancelled at ITV due to poor ratings, and let us be honest a godawful story, Julian Fellowes'BELGRAVIA costume drama is getting a second
season three years after over at American MGM Plus formerly known as Epix. The first to be added to the cast is a real life royalty Sophie Winkleman, also known as Lady Frederick Windsor, the son of Prince Michael of Kent. As Daily Mail reports, she is set to play the part of aristocrat Lady Rochester, which is one of the pivotal roles in the story! The new series will be set 25 years on from where the last one left off and will tell an entirely new story. She and Fellowes, who is also preparing a second season of Gilded Age at HBO, have worked before on his Titanic mini series.

THE STORY FOLLOWS
Jim (Jordan Oosterhof) a seventeen-year-old boxer in a small town. He's a golden boy, preparing for a fight that will elevate him to an early professional status. All bets are on his climb to success. But his father Stan (Tim Roth) is a
demanding coach and a notorious alcoholic. As Jim begins to rethink why he is fighting, his life tangles with Whetu (Conan Hayes), a razor-tongued, gay Maori boy who spends his days in an old shack with his dog Moimoi where he cobbles together a fragile glamour and dreams of leaving town to become a musician. Away from the rainbow flags and Pride parades, Jim and Whetu must navigate isolation, hypocrisy, the brutality of small-town boxing, and an anonymous queer bashing that no one will talk about. As Jim stumbles towards discovering what it really is to be a gay man, he is forced to understand that strength has little to do with heroism.
